Suming had previously let Gu spread the news, buying up various rare fish species, so when the fishermen caught the knife fish, they immediately used the radio to inform Gu.
Fishermen, when they head out to sea, would carry a radio with them for easy communication with each other, so that if any ship encountered danger, they could call for help from the nearby fishing vessels as quickly as possible, and it also allowed them to chat during normal times.
Every ship's radio was tuned to a common channel. When it was heard that someone had caught knife fish, the whole channel was filled with joy and congratulations.
"Whose family is it, having such good luck?"
"Listening to the voice, it seems to be Mr. Liao's boat!"
"I've been here for three days now, and not a hair of a knife fish in sight!"
